A major goal of this fifth edition is to help present and future teachers acquire
the
knowledge, concepts, strategies, and resources needed to integrate information
about ethnic
groups into the mainstream curriculum. This edition incorporates
new terms and concepts that
are emerging in the field of multicultural education.
Information on ethnic groups has been
updated, and a new discussion of the
nativism and xenophobia of the 1980s and 1990s is added.
Part 1 presents a
rationale for incorporating ethnic content into the school curriculum.
Parts
2 through 5 contain chapters on these major ethnic groups: (1) First Americans
(indigenous peoples) and African Americans; (2) European Americans; (3) Hispanic
Americans;
and (4) Asian Americans. For each group and subdivision the chapter
contains a chronology of
key events, a historical overview, illustrative key
concepts and teaching strategies, an
annotated bibliography for teachers,
and an annotated bibliography for elementary and
secondary school students.
Part 6 highlights and summarizes the major points and illustrates
how they
can be used. Five appendixes contain a chronology of ethnic-history events, and
bibliographies of videotapes and films, books about people of color, the Carter
G. Woodson
Award books, and 20 landmark books in ethnic literature. (SLD)
